Pacific vs Arkansas Stats

Pacific Tigers

The Pacific Tigers have undergone significant changes this season, with new head coach Dave Smart taking the helm and a revamped roster featuring talented players like Elijah Fisher and Lamar Washington. Despite a strong start, the Tigers have stumbled in their last two games, bringing their season record to 3-2. Offensively, they boast a high field goal percentage but struggle at the free throw line and from beyond the arc. Defensively, they excel in limiting their opponents' field goals and three-pointers but struggle with fouls. Overall, the Tigers show promise but will need to work on consistency to succeed in the competitive West Coast Conference.

The Arkansas Razorbacks, under the new leadership of coach John Calipari, have started the season with a record of 2-1. Despite a tough loss to Baylor, the team has shown promise with strong performances from newcomers like Adou Thiero and Boogie Fland. The Razorbacks have a strong defense, ranking 41st in the nation for points allowed per game, but their offense is currently ranked 296th. They have struggled with shooting percentages but excel in defensive rebounds and blocks. With a solid recruiting class and experienced coaching staff, the Razorbacks are poised for success this season.

Arkansas is focused on improving their offensive performance, shooting 46.3% from the field and ranking 254th in three-point shooting at 30.6%.

The betting odds seem to favor the Calipari-coached Tigers, resulting in an inflated 22-point line for the game.
